The episode of the parrot: As they journey on after visiting several holy sacred fords beginning with Suṣumṇā-puṣkariṇī, they see in one place a parrot withered by hunger and thirst inside the hollow of a withered tree. The conversation between the parrot and Śakra; description of the greatness of the tree by the parrot. The granting of a boon to the parrot by Śakra; from Śakra's granting of the boon, that withered tree is restored to life, and the parrot attains the world of Brahmā.
